[389-users] Re: replication issue

[Mark Reynolds]

Jesse,

Can you provide the exact replication agreement entry you are trying to
add? 
The errors log are at:  /var/log/dirsrv/slapd-YOUR_INSTANCE/errors -
anything in there related to the error 53 (unwilling to perform)?

Now I don't know much about Directory Server in RHEL5 (that's very old),
but I would also look at the replication docs:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server/8.2/h...

Anyway the first thing you need to do is reinitialize the agreements
that have not been working, and that is covered in the link above. 
Getting to a newer version of Directory Server will require you to move
to RHEL 7, and you shouldn't do that until you get replication working. 
Then the migration path will be easier.

Regards,
Mark
